When I first put her in there within minutes she was kinda stuck to those intake holes. I then lowered the filter speed and the dolt was back there a few minutes later. I then turned it to it's slowest setting AND I put those 2 plants in front of it. A little while later she was wedged between the plants and the intake!! I don't know if she's really that weak, scared or what. I turned it off and she does move here and there. So now I can't use the filter. Most of these little fighters don't live in a full size aquarium anyway, and most without filters, but why not let her be in heaven with a perfectly clean tank? But the lame little wuss can't seem to fight the current!
